Is it grammatically correct to say “We went to the movies Yesterday”? Or would it sound better to say “Yesterday we went to the movies”?

For example, I know that it sounds odd to say “It was a good day Yesterday”. On the other hand, saying “Yesterday was a good day” sounds more natural. Why is that?

    All four sentences are natural and idiomatic. (Your third sentence doesn't sound odd at all.) The only thing unusual is that you are capitalizing Yesterday when it's not at the start of the sentence. Jun 30, 2019 at 18:07
